Abstract

Embodiments include a soap capable of treating seborrheic keratoses, keratosis pilaris, keratoderma, and/or related conditions, comprising a soap base and additives including pumice and polyethylene. Embodiments further include a method of making and using the soap, comprising providing the soap base and the additives including pumice and polyethylene, mixing the soap base and the additives together, and forming the soap from the soap base and the additives. Embodiments also include a method of using the soap, comprising providing the soap comprising the soap base and additives including pumice and polyethylene, and placing the soap in rubbing contact with the seborrheic keratoses, keratosis pilaris, keratoderma, or related conditions.

1 . Soap for treating seborrheic keratoses, keratosis pilaris, keratoderma, or related conditions, comprising:
 a soap base comprising one or more oils or fatty acids; and   additives comprising:
 pumice, wherein a weight percent of pumice in the soap is in a range of from approximately two percent to approximately three percent, and 
 polyethylene, wherein a weight percent of polyethylene in the soap is in a range of from approximately one percent to approximately two percent. 
   
     
     
         2 . The soap of  claim 1 , wherein a weight percent of pumice in the soap is approximately two percent and a weight percent of polyethylene in the soap is approximately two percent. 
     
     
         3 . The soap of  claim 1 , wherein the soap base further comprises one or more preservatives or one or more chelating agents.

         9 . The soap of  claim 1 , wherein a weight percent of pumice in the soap is approximately three percent and a weight percent of polyethylene in the soap is approximately two percent. 
     
     
         10 . The soap of  claim 1 , wherein a ratio of the weight percent of pumice in the soap to the weight percent of polyethylene in the soap is 2:1. 
     
     
         11 . The soap of  claim 10 , wherein the weight percent of pumice in the soap is approximately two percent of the total weight of the soap. 
     
     
         12 . The soap of  claim 11 , wherein the weight percent of polyethylene in the soap is approximately one percent of the total weight of the soap.
